                                ICESat-2 is part of NASA's Earth Observing System, is a satellite mission for measuring ice sheet mass elevation, sea ice freeboard as well as land topography,vegetation characteristics and clouds. It uses lasers and a very precise detection instrument to measure the elevation of Earth’s surface.

                                Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 or ICESat-2, is a follow-on to the ICESat mission, was launched on 15 September 2018 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The ICESat-2 spacecraft was built and tested by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems in Gilbert, Arizona, while the on-board instrument, ATLAS, was built and managed by Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The satellite was launched on a Delta II rocket provided by United Launch Alliance. This was the last launch of the Delta II rocket.

                                ICESat-2's sole instrument, the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System, or ATLAS collects elevation data using six laser beams - which gives the new mission much denser coverage of Earth's surface. ATLAS measures the travel times of laser pulses to calculate the distance between the spacecraft and Earth’s surface.

                                ICESat-2's Applications program is designed to engage people and organizations who plan to use the data, before the satellite launches. Selected from a pool of applicants, this Science Definition Team represents experts in a wide variety of scientific fields including hydrology, atmospheric science, oceanography, and vegetation science.  The goal of this group is to communicate the vast capabilities of the ICESat-2 mission with the greater scientific community, with the aim to diversify and innovate new methods and techniques from the collected data.
